Today, a reporter from the Russian state news agency TASS gained unauthorized access to the Oval Office. How does one gain unauthorized access to the Oval Office? Meanwhile, AP and Reuters were blocked.

Alt text: A tweet from Christopher F. Rufo (@realchrisrufo) posted at 5:00 PM on February 25, 2025. The tweet states that Tulsi Gabbard is preparing a memo directing all intelligence agencies to identify employees who participated in the NSA’s "obscene, pornographic, and sexually explicit" chatrooms. The memo also calls for terminating their employment and revoking their security clearances, with a deadline set for Friday. The tweet has 254.7K views, 397 replies, 3K retweets, 12K likes, and 335 bookmarks.

This is a full purge of every single LGBTQ employee at the NSA. Rufo is falsely mischaracterizing a LGBTQ employee resource group as a "sex chat" to create pretext to fire every single member in it.

This is a playbook they will run to purge the entire federal government.

DHS says it 'can, should and will' administer polygraph exams amid ICE raid location leaks The Department of Homeland Security is responding to reports that Secretary Kristi Noem allegedly warned employees that polygraph tests will be used to combat potential leaks about upcoming ICE raids.

DHS suspects that ICE raid locations were shared by an internal source. Now the department is calling for polygraph tests.

What isn’t in this article: polygraph experts on #AltGov social media offering their advice to ICE employees who may need help passing.

We’ve got each others backs.

I guess I don’t understand how most un-informed voters are able to separate the economy from their own pocketbook. In this most recent election the economy was improving and in good health. But so many people didn’t believe it because of the price of eggs and their personal circumstances.

Imagine being rich enough to do anything you want and choosing to take food and medicine from starving children to give yourself even more money.

John Major: Trump’s US isolationism threatens global democracy Former UK prime minister says US may regret ceding world stage to China and condemns ‘hypocritical’ JD Vance speech

“There’s no doubt in my mind that democracy is threatened. It’s been in modest decline for the last 18 years. There’s an ugly nationalism growing mostly from the intolerant right.”
— Former British Conservative PM John Major, accusing Trump of “cuddling Mr Putin.”

a man wearing a shirt that says " cccup mars " walks on a red carpet Alt: President Musk happily jumping at a rally of cult members

There are more than 147 million troy ounces of gold at Fox Knox with a market value of ~$432B. Ft Knox has a strict no visitors policy, which has been excepted twice in 78y (FDR, 1943 & congressional delegates 1974).
Guess who wants to go play there next?

YES! Keep it simple. Make it about them not some stranger they don’t know (or even their neighbor). People vote their pocketbook / in their own best interest. And will want to “wait and see” unless they’re personally impacted.

DC is a liberal bubble. People outside DC don’t care about this because it doesn’t refute the narrative they believe. They will need to feel this personally to do something and even then, it may be 2 years before that something is to vote.

this seems like a winning formula. People need to hear how it will impact them personally and they need a new person to blame for it (instead of the immigrants and DEI hires they think are to blame now)

This is spot on. Short simple easy to understand anecdotes. People who we need to flip their position don’t want to be given a lecture in AP Government. They also don’t want to be patronized by an elitist liberal.

USDA accidentally fired officials working on bird flu and is now trying to rehire them An Agriculture Department spokesperson told NBC News that officials are "working to swiftly rectify the situation."

“Accidentally” — no - as with the nuclear safety people and everyone else they were deliberately fired with malice aforethought and the effort to control the gratuitous damage by trying to rehire them is a reminder that the ones who do need firing are the firers

Thanks for the amazing graphic!!!!!

What was that I heard recently about lazy and incompetent government officials?

Air Traffic Control System Command Center (ATCSCC)

On Friday night, DOGE
fired many FAA radar, landing, and navigational aid maintenance workers with the FAA without cause.
Now, SpaceX is visiting the Air Traffic Control System Command Center (ATCSCC) in Virginia to inspect & review equipment and protocols.
DOGE is run by SpaceX owner Elon Musk.

A top Social Security Administration official resigned after clashing with Musk staffers over access to sensitive personal records. They sought entry into an internal system containing Americans’ private data.

Thank you, Michelle, for resisting—and for your 30 years of service.

Trump Would Shift Foreign Aid to Wall Street Ally "President Donald Trump’s advisers have discussed shifting billions in funding from USAID to a government-run agency due to be headed up by the dealmaker son of Apollo Global Management co-founder Leo...

Waste, fraud and mismanagement? Every accusation is a confession with these guys. Wait till you see who gets the $40 billion they have just stolen from the US taxpayer. Stay with us in this fight, we’re not done yet. 11/END

Republicans Love Trump’s Spending Cuts. Just Not in Their States. Even as they praise the president’s unilateral actions to slash federal spending, G.O.P. lawmakers have quietly moved to seek carve outs or exemptions for their own constituents.

Surprise, surprise!

Political action works. Good reporting works. Laying out what Trump and Musk are actually doing works.

Keep standing up.
Keep fighting back.

Trump has granted a conflict of interest waiver for Musk. We’re eager to see if the administration will release it in line with their vow of transparency.

This is absolutely insane. Musk’s DOGE crew just straight up *took* $80 million from an NYC bank account!

Dear DOJ:

Excuses don't explain.
Explanations don't excuse.

Trump has dismissed the director of the Office of Government Ethics. David Huitema, the former director, played a key role in vetting Trump administration appointees for conflicts of interest.

Open message to Elon Musk:

Rumors are swirling that you’re spending $40 million on Super Bowl ads targeting USAID. If there were truly fraud, wouldn’t you not need to spend millions trying to convince people?

House Pete Hegseth Under Fire From Dems Over Alleged $49,000 ‘Emergency’ Paint Job For Government Home The Democrats said over $135,000 was allocated for maintenance and repairs of the house, exceeding a $35,000 threshold for residences of senior military officers.

So money already appropriated and granted for SNAP, Medicaid, Medicare and Head Start can be cancelled, but not the $137k for new drapes and things for Pete Hegseth’s government-provided house.
